Ok, I can answer you. But what's the question? I can simply rehash what should 
be already known to everyone:

I can't divulge any details that aren't public yet. 

The same future for Qt inside Nokia that I talked about two months ago is 
still very much true and the details are still very much secret. 

Qt developers are still here, still doing what they were doing in January (ok, 
we're trying to do a little less Symbian). No one has been laid off. There have 
been a lot of blogs on technical material on labs, showing we're still working 
on new features.

The Android port is going on just fine. We're happy with it and we're helping 
as much as we can under the circumstances. If you try to install a Qt-based 
Android application after you install Ministro, it goes and downloads Qt just 
fine and quickly (it's even faster than on older Nokia phones that ship without 
Qt).

Qt is not getting ported to WP7. Even if it did get ported, you don't get a 
C++ compiler for WP7 from Microsoft, so what would be the point?

Qt 4.7 is coming to Symbian. I think there were some announcements.

Qt 4.8 is branched, modularisation is landing to the master branch.

Intel is still investing in MeeGo and still using Qt. If you want more 
details, you'll need to contact someone from Intel.

The Nokia MeeGo device is going to be released but for obvious reasons that 
should be apparent to everyone, I won't be telling you when. I've been using 
it in the office for some time now, though...

The MeeGo Conference in San Francisco has an impressive set of talks, 
including several from Trolls. I'll be there talking about Open Governance.

And on that subject, Open Governance is still going on strong. The servers are 
being set up as we speak.
